Sora 2 Is Finally Here

Sora 2 is physically accurate, realistic, and more controllable, and it also adds synchronized dialogue and sound effects.

When the first version of Sora was released in February 2024, it felt like the GPT-1 moment for AI video. Anyone can generate highly realistic videos with nothing but text prompts. However, the results weren’t quite production-ready. Subjects often looked physically off, and there was no native support for audio or sound effects.

Sora 2 is a GPT-4 moment for AI video. The upgrade is massive.

It solves some insanely difficult motions like Olympic gymnastics routines, backflips on a paddleboard that accurately model the dynamics of buoyancy and rigidity, and triple axels while a cat holds on for dear life.

I’ll go straight ahead and show you one good example of how huge the improvements are.
